The Eagles have been able to do the unthinkable in a very short amount of time. After the horrible performance versus the Bengals and then the Ravens McNabb debacle, Nostradomus himself couldn't have predicted what the Eagles were able to do in the last two months. The Eagles now have a serious shot at going to the Super Bowl, and possibly winning the Super Bowl. I know, slow down. One game at a time. With that I truly believe that the Eagles are the only team that can beat the Eagles this week. The recipe is pretty simple to beat Arizona, put pressure on Kurt Warner and you might as well put an Eagles jersey on him. It's that simple. The popular thing to say this week is that Larry Fitzgerald is going to be the key and he can't be stopped. Again its simple. You can stop Larry Fitzgerald, by putting pressure on Warner.

The Cards Will Win It All

Via Central Maine Sports Blog  |  January 14, 2009
Why not? Why not the team that has been the laughing stock of the NFL since its inception? The Cardinals have been just about as relevant as soccer in this country. The biggest storyline has been their drunken QB chilling with coeds in a hot tub. But, it just feels like it's their time. This has been one of the strangest NFL seasons in recent memory. Don't believe me? Here...

You know who Michael Crabtree reminds me of? That's right -- Larry Fitzgerald. Both players are 6'3". Fitzgerald, who's four years older, is only 10 pounds heavier. Crabtree can put on ten pounds easy. Easy.  Both came out of the pros as redshirt sophomores. Both have good speed, and ...

Arizona Cardinals: The Cards surprised everybody with a 24-30 win over the Atlanta Falcons in the wildcard round of the NFL playoffs. Then they went on to blow out the number two seeded Carolina Panthers, 33-13. In a crazy playoff season, these Cardinals are to me the most surprising. I thought they would lose two weeks ago. And when they didn?t, I thought the Panthers would destroy...
